A Glass Contemporary in Shawangunk: Elegance in a smaller package.

  |  May 5, 2025

This glass contemporary in Shawangunk is petite, but pretty.

Built in 1962, it’s been completely renovated to fit a 2020s-era esthetic. The entire facade is glassed with windows, bringing the woodsy outdoors inside.

Indoors is a great room that encompasses living, dining, and kitchen areas. The living room has a zero-clearance fireplace with a simple wooden mantel.

The pitched ceiling is lined with rustic beams. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with dazzling light during the day; curtains provide privacy at night.

More windows fill the back wall, adjacent to the kitchen and dining area.

Golden hardware ups the elegance of custom white cabinetry and marbled counters.

The spa-like bathroom has sage-green walls.

Hexagon tiles cover the floor; glazed white subway tile fills the shower area, which includes a soaking tub.

Dark wood beams support the pitched ceiling in the primary bedroom, which has two walls of windows.

The second bedroom is smaller, but has a high sleeping loft.

The house measures just 825 square feet. A back deck has cable railings for an unobscured view of the landscape.

The 2.2-acre lot has plenty of woods to explore—great at this time of year for ephemeral-hunters and amateur foragers. A firepit provides a spot to unwind.

If you’re a birdwatcher, bring your camera to the Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge, under a 10-minute drive from here. Pine Bush is about the same distance for food shopping and a couple of restaurants.
